Canadian project earns Copper Development Association award

The Spirit Garden in Toronto is among the ten projects honored in the 18th North American Copper in Architecture Awards by the Copper Development Association. This project, designed by Gow Hastings Architects and other collaborators, integrates cultural storytelling with architectural elements to commemorate Indigenous history. Winners were judged on criteria such as copper system design and integration, craftsmanship, and sustainability, and the awarded projects spanned both new constructions and restorations across North America. The Spirit Garden, built for the Toronto Council Fire Native Cultural Centre, highlights the importance of copper’s use in modern architectural design projects.
